Dive into the weird world of Pacific Northwest cryptids as we separate fact from fiction. This week, we're climbing into the forests of Washington to investigate the legendary Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus, one of the internet's most famous hoaxes that became a surprisingly convincing lesson in online misinformation.

Then we head beneath the Tacoma Narrows Bridge to uncover the legend of the terrifying King Octopus, a cryptid inspired by real giant Pacific octopuses. Is there really a monster lurking under the Tacoma Narrows, or is the truth just as fascinating?

Tune in for paranormal legends, cryptid lore, strange history, and plenty of Pacific Northwest weirdness. This episode explores how myths are born and why some creatures refuse to sink beneath the waves.

1
00:00:02.759 --> 00:00:05.839
So it's like another example of like a kind of

2
00:00:05.879 --> 00:00:10.880
a fake cryptid, but like actually helps protect and preserve

3
00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:13.119
like real animals and real habitats.

4
00:00:13.279 --> 00:00:15.960
Honestly, it's a strong strategy.

5
00:00:16.239 --> 00:00:19.320
Yeah. Yeah, we're weird over here in the P ANDW.

6
00:00:19.399 --> 00:00:21.559
I don't know if they do this shit like anywhere

7
00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:24.640
else in the world, but here we are.

8
00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:28.480
I mean, listen, it's working here. So I feel like

9
00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:33.520
if if you're not doing it elsewhere, maybe adopt the practice.

10
00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:41.640
Yeah, you know, Hi Caitlin, Hi, Cassie. Hi, creepy people.

11
00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:44.119
Hello, what's up?

12
00:00:44.159 --> 00:00:49.039
How you doing that? This is PNW Hanson Homicides where

13
00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:53.200
we chat about true crime, the paranormal, and anything creepy

14
00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:58.240
and weird and spooky. Ukie Dookie in the Pacific Northwest. Dookie,

15
00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:03.759
you said, dooky did or the P and W. If

16
00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:10.400
you're nasty, you are so nasty. That's why you're here,

17
00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:14.719
because we're nasty and we're all creepy, nasty, weird people together.

18
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:20.719
Yeah, we did some market research. It was very unscientific,

19
00:01:20.959 --> 00:01:24.599
but it did return a result of.

20
00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:29.599
One one hunder nasty. That's interesting that you're talking about

21
00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:34.680
like research, because my episode might be it's kind of

22
00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:39.439
about some research research. Yeah, so that's interesting. You're picking

23
00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:42.760
up a vibe you always do, I always do, well,

24
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:46.040
Oh we before we get started. We also do a

25
00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:48.920
tarah reading at the end of every episode, just for

26
00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:52.359
a little deeper insight into our topic and for you know,

27
00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:55.879
a little palate cleanser and a little fun. Yeah. We

28
00:01:56.040 --> 00:02:00.680
just it gives us more chance to talk about like

29
00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:03.200
things we might not have thought about while we're chatting

30
00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:05.920
in the episode. Like, It's true they do come up

31
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:06.480
during Taro.

32
00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:10.599
Yeah, and I feel like there's something about like, even

33
00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:15.479
if you're not super into the woo woo of it all,

34
00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:20.919
just like the imagery of Taro to me is always

35
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:24.319
really powerful. Yeah, and like you kind of pick up

36
00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:27.759
on sort of like colors or themes or symbols that

37
00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:29.240
I don't know.

38
00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:32.039
It gets us talking. Yeah, we like it. We like

39
00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:36.120
the other conversation point. You know that guy doesn't like

40
00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:42.039
to talk. He likes the room. Yeah, what are you

41
00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:44.680
gonna do? Talk through it? Yeah, it's gonna be in

42
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:45.840
our episode, And that's fine.

43
00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:47.680
Some people's kids, am I right?

44
00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:50.960
You can't get rid of all background noise as much

45
00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:56.120
as you try, That's what I've heard. Yeah, as much

46
00:02:56.360 --> 00:03:01.080
as the editor wants to. Yeah, your I feel like

47
00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:07.199
your eyes just crossed, really really goddamn. Anyway, well, should

48
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:10.280
we get into it. Let's die. I have a fun

49
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:14.000
one for you, because so last episode, you guys may

50
00:03:14.039 --> 00:03:16.400
have noticed I wasn't there. You might not have noticed.

51
00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:21.039
We were joking about that. I was like, I think

52
00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:22.479
we should just go into it.

53
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:23.520
I left that all in.

54
00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:28.000
Yeah, okay, great, okay, great, I thought that was part

55
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:28.280
of it.

56
00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:30.400
I don't know I was in here.

57
00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:35.000
I just was like, do you thinks they'll notice?

58
00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:38.360
Of course they would. But my favorite part of the

59
00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:45.159
last episode it is the outdake where I didn't specifically

60
00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:49.280
get permission. No you you did? You never really back,

61
00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:50.360
So no I did.

62
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:51.639
You didn't.

63
00:03:51.639 --> 00:03:54.120
You said we're going to listen to it, oh all

64
00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:56.159
the way, and then you never but you were camping,

65
00:03:56.240 --> 00:03:59.120
so yeah, I was camping. Well anyway, okay, So my

66
00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:01.719
point was I missed your birthday episode, which you guys

67
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:04.879
didn't even mention it was your birthday. I know, well

68
00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:08.520
I'm out the day after your birthday. I think, yeah, yeah,

69
00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:12.840
so since it's your birthday quote unquote episode, since I

70
00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:16.000
wasn't here, I picked something fun and not too scary,

71
00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:18.920
since I mean, you tortured me for my birthday.

72
00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:21.920
But I was like, I'm going to be a better person. Honestly,

73
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:25.519
it was very unintentional. I just thought something very old

74
00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:28.399
timey and like aligning with your day day.

75
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:29.399
Yeah.

76
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:32.360
I was like, it's synchronicity. This will be so cool.

77
00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:35.800
And then it got so uncool.

78
00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:40.000
It it really really really did. But so we're going

79
00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:44.439
to do something fun day. We're going to talk about

80
00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:48.519
a couple of different cryptids in the P ANDW. And

81
00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:51.480
the first one you've heard of and you were obsessed

82
00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:55.720
the trioctopus. Oh, and you're like, when you to talk

83
00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:58.759
about the trioctopus, we need to have So now we're

84
00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:04.120
going to talk about the street us or the trictopus

85
00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:07.360
is I like to call it? Oh my god, the

86
00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:12.040
trioctapus has a website. Help save the indentured Pacific north indentured.

87
00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:17.279
I was like, oh no, that's not rights.

88
00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:24.800
Enslaves these rare species. Please don't. That's really unfortunate. They

89
00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:30.319
have their troubles already, very unethical. It's not right you guys.

90
00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:37.240
Help save the endangered Pacific Northwest trioctopus from extinc chion.

91
00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:40.160
I mean it makes sense. You hate to see it.

92
00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:48.399
So the Northwest trio octopus or octopus paksar bolus. Wow,

93
00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:52.800
that's its scientific name. I love it. The website says

94
00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:55.600
they can be found in temperate rainforests of the Olympic

95
00:05:55.639 --> 00:06:00.279
Peninsula on the west coast of North America. Why if

96
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:02.040
you scroll down like a tiny bit, how's like a

97
00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:08.160
little map of like Seattle, okay, the rivers where it

98
00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:11.040
can kind of be found. And I think the other

99
00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:14.519
orange part is maybe the forest area can be found

100
00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:18.000
because they are like the beginning of their life and

101
00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:23.279
their mating season. They are underwater in the rivers. Oh interesting,

102
00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:25.040
and then they kind of come out and live their

103
00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:26.040
lives in the trees.

104
00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:28.480
Oh so very amphibious of them.

105
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:32.199
Yes, yeah, like a frog, yeah, kind of like they're

106
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:33.000
kind of like frogs.

107
00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:33.560
Yeah.

108
00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:38.399
Their average size is thirty to thirty three centimeters. And

109
00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:43.319
we've talked about it before. Don't really know centimeters whyse.

110
00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:48.800
Okay, So thirty centimeters is eleven point eight one one

111
00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:52.399
inches okay, so almost a foot like a paper, like

112
00:06:52.439 --> 00:06:53.600
a piece of paper.

113
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:56.000
So it's about a foot. So the it does stay

114
00:06:56.040 --> 00:06:59.759
on the website. The treoctopus is and I did read

115
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:05.079
octopuses and octopi are both acceptable. This says octopuses on

116
00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:05.920
the website.

117
00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:07.240
I like it.

118
00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:10.040
They are amphibious like froggies.

119
00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:14.040
I always forget the term for them cephalopods.

120
00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:19.160
Oh yes, okay, So because of the moisteness of the rainforests,

121
00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:22.920
that's why they can live in the trees. And they

122
00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:25.000
they would prefer to be in like a little puddle

123
00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:28.399
of water or something, but because the rainforest is so moist,

124
00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:32.319
they can, you know, live in the trees. Honestly, that

125
00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:35.959
kind of makes sense. Not a scientist, but I think

126
00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:38.439
it makes perfect sense. I don't like it. I don't

127
00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:41.399
know what anyone else is talking about. These are seem legit.

128
00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:46.680
Honestly, I've always thought that they're very cool sea creatures,

129
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:49.040
and I wish that I had more of an occasion

130
00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:52.879
to interact with them, as long as they're not evil

131
00:07:53.079 --> 00:07:53.800
like Ursula.

132
00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:58.240
Is she evil? Or she misunderstood? It says here on

133
00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:03.040
the website that evolutionary theorists say that they're kind of

134
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:08.000
adapting the way that primates have. Like, for you, that

135
00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:10.199
makes sense. So they're like emerging out of the water

136
00:08:10.519 --> 00:08:12.759
right using all their limbs to like live out of

137
00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:17.079
the water, so there could be like octopus humans running

138
00:08:17.079 --> 00:08:18.040
around soon. We don't.

139
00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:23.199
Honestly, you're presenting this like it might be kind of

140
00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:29.079
like out there or undesirable, and in no way do

141
00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:32.360
I find that to be the case. I honestly, I

142
00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:35.639
was thinking about immediately, like think about how much shit

143
00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:38.080
I could get done if I had eight hands.

144
00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:40.519
Seriously, I mean tentacles, but you know what I mean.

145
00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:43.879
And if you could like change your like skin color,

146
00:08:44.120 --> 00:08:47.559
like blend in with things I don't bother you. It's

147
00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:52.639
literally like dreams goals to be an ostopus. And they're

148
00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:55.519
so smart already, so they're basically like humans.

149
00:08:56.039 --> 00:09:00.440
I mean, they're very, very smart. Have you seen markably

150
00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:01.279
bright creatures?

151
00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:07.279
No, I really want to. Oh, it's really good. I

152
00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:09.759
just have to say, because I am a reader that

153
00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:12.840
I read it first and then I watched the movie.

154
00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:13.480
Oh.

155
00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:15.879
It says on the website they're not officially listed on

156
00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:20.240
the Endangered Special List species list, but the levels are

157
00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:24.039
so low of these guys that they just like need

158
00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:26.919
to be on the list. So it's kind of like

159
00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:29.240
what the website is about is to try to like

160
00:09:29.279 --> 00:09:33.279
get them saved, get them on the list and the

161
00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:37.000
reasons they are not quite endangered but like almost is

162
00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:39.240
it like pre endangered? Is that okay?

163
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:39.960
No?

164
00:09:40.039 --> 00:09:40.759
I think it is.

165
00:09:40.879 --> 00:09:44.639
Actually yeah, I think the endangered species list has like

166
00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:49.000
kind of tears tears, yeah, okay, like there's near extinction.

167
00:09:49.120 --> 00:09:51.399
I'm sure they have their own terms, but yeah.

168
00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:54.080
Pre endangered we're gonna we're gonna go with that, okay.

169
00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:59.879
Like the reasons though are because of logging and city

170
00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:06.000
being built in their habitat, pollutions a big one. Predators

171
00:10:06.559 --> 00:10:09.799
like cats apparently cats.

172
00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:12.720
Getting cats or just like house cats.

173
00:10:12.440 --> 00:10:15.879
Both I don't really know. I assume bigger cats, but

174
00:10:15.960 --> 00:10:16.799
maybe housecuts.

175
00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:20.159
But we have a lot of like we've seen in

176
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:24.440
the news recently, like here in Oregon, like cats, yeah,

177
00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:28.559
the cats, like it can be ape cats.

178
00:10:29.360 --> 00:10:33.519
The ape cats could be getting the treoctopus, oh my god.

179
00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:38.679
But also its predators are the bald eagle and sasquatch.

180
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:43.720
Shut the likes to get them a little sushi every

181
00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:44.200
now and then.

182
00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:47.600
Anay and bald eagles. That make sense.

183
00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:53.000
Another thing that endangers the treo octopus is the trioctopus trade.

184
00:10:53.679 --> 00:10:57.039
I guess they were trading these guys what like yeah,

185
00:10:57.240 --> 00:11:00.200
for for why, I don't know, just killing them and

186
00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:03.440
train them for maybe to eat, maybe to like make

187
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:05.240
us hat. Oh the hold hat?

188
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:07.200
The hat?

189
00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:13.000
Scroll down? There is hats. What This one is from

190
00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:16.480
the what is it? The Cascadia Evening Post in the

191
00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:20.120
nineteen twenties, and it it features a woman wearing an

192
00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:22.679
octopus hat. I don't know, how do you make it

193
00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:25.519
into leather? Like? How do you make it? I know,

194
00:11:25.639 --> 00:11:26.399
because preserve it?

195
00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:28.679
Like the whole thing about them is they have to

196
00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:31.399
be like what they have to be.

197
00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:33.159
I'm sorry, excuse me.

198
00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:36.039
They have to be moist.

199
00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:39.120
You don't want a moist hat, though, so they must

200
00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:42.799
make it like some like leathery, yeah, somehow.

201
00:11:42.519 --> 00:11:45.080
Which I feel like almost kind of like does that

202
00:11:45.159 --> 00:11:49.440
not just completely ruin the I don't know, I'm very curious.

203
00:11:49.559 --> 00:11:52.639
I don't know. I really don't want to see one

204
00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:53.200
of these hats.

205
00:11:53.240 --> 00:11:55.840
I kind of don't either, but I also do like

206
00:11:55.919 --> 00:11:59.919
the illustration is probably as much as I can handle.

207
00:12:00.440 --> 00:12:02.519
I'm not gonna liets.

208
00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:07.480
Yeah right, it's kind of we need to save this

209
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:10.320
and post it to the socials, for sure, But like

210
00:12:10.879 --> 00:12:14.360
there's a little part of me that's feeling a little activated.

211
00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:20.639
It's giving like kind of ed gean, Oh oh yeah, yeah,

212
00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:24.159
I bet they have lamp shades. About shades.

213
00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:27.360
I feel like they would be terrible lamp shades.

214
00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:30.480
Is their skin see through? We don't do we know.

215
00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:37.080
I feel like they're pretty translucent translation translucent skin. Yeah,

216
00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:40.559
but we don't want that. No, nobody wants that's not

217
00:12:40.759 --> 00:12:43.080
we don't want that. I feel like we just have.

218
00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:45.840
So many other options in terms.

219
00:12:45.519 --> 00:12:46.639
Of like textiles.

220
00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:49.919
They just feel like, maybe we just stop making things

221
00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:53.279
out of other things skin.

222
00:12:53.440 --> 00:12:58.039
Because then, you know, over harvesting and yeah, I mean

223
00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:00.000
to endangerment quite literally.

224
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:03.879
Really, you know when we're using these you know, quote

225
00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:09.360
unquote natural resources. You know, the beaver pelts. You think

226
00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:13.679
back to the days of whaling. There's so many examples

227
00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:16.919
where it's like, oh huh, I wonder how those ended

228
00:13:17.000 --> 00:13:17.960
up in danger.

229
00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:21.080
Okay, so I'm gonna read from the website here.

230
00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:21.720
Yeah.

231
00:13:21.799 --> 00:13:24.679
While efforts were made in the past to preserve remaining

232
00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:28.559
tree octopus habitat, these were met with resistance by the

233
00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:33.840
timber industry, of course, which has traditionally viewed the tree

234
00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:39.519
octopus as a nuisance. Why well, both because I'm just

235
00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:43.639
going to keep reading both because the octopuses favor the

236
00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:48.639
valuable moss shrouded trees of old growth forests, pitting conservation

237
00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:54.320
needs against lucrative sources of lumber. It also says they

238
00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:57.559
would like get stuck in the sawmills and gumming up

239
00:13:57.679 --> 00:14:00.240
is what it says.

240
00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:06.000
Terrible, Oh my god, and stained pulp that with their ink.

241
00:14:06.720 --> 00:14:12.840
Yeah, that is so dark. Isn't that gross? That's really gross?

242
00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:16.799
Well, because here's the thing is either you pissed off

243
00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:20.200
the octopus and it like inked at you, or the

244
00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:23.159
octopus got it just got all chopped up in the

245
00:14:23.200 --> 00:14:23.759
ink sack.

246
00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:30.960
Yeah, it leaked and stained everything. No, so laggers didn't

247
00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:34.960
didn't much care for these creatures. They regarded them as

248
00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:39.600
bad luck obviously, which is so stupid because I mean,

249
00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:41.720
if they're if they're going to stain this whole thing

250
00:14:42.440 --> 00:14:45.600
or like ruin their equipment, that is I mean, I mean,

251
00:14:45.639 --> 00:14:48.559
you're you're the bad luck human.

252
00:14:49.080 --> 00:14:54.639
Well literally stained pulp that you realize what pulp is,

253
00:14:55.120 --> 00:14:58.320
it's fucking pulp, it's tree pole. Yeah. Don't they make

254
00:14:58.360 --> 00:15:02.879
that into paper like paper or black papers the white

255
00:15:02.879 --> 00:15:07.399
paper like they can bleach it, I'm sure, but like

256
00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:11.840
either way it seems like you should be able to

257
00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:16.440
treat that byproduct and change the color of it.

258
00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:18.759
I don't know, I'm just saying maybe that just like

259
00:15:18.840 --> 00:15:19.840
costs more for them.

260
00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:23.240
I guess they consider that bad luck.

261
00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:26.000
You're killing the environment.

262
00:15:25.519 --> 00:15:30.279
Stoody Ruckefeller. You'll make fifteen cents last.

263
00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:35.879
So they started just killing them off on site because

264
00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:40.679
they were such a nuisance around the logging camps. And

265
00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:45.200
it says anti octopus sentiment was so strong among loggers

266
00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:47.960
that some even began to fear that the octopus were

267
00:15:47.960 --> 00:15:52.360
prone to attacking humans. But like based on what though,

268
00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:55.399
I feel like that's just like a self defense, Like, oh,

269
00:15:55.399 --> 00:15:57.399
it was attacking me, so I can kill it and

270
00:15:57.440 --> 00:15:58.120
then it won't.

271
00:15:58.159 --> 00:16:03.200
Oh, I mean sure, like when in doubt, just you know, lie.

272
00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:06.559
These fears, the fears of from the loggers of the

273
00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:10.960
attacks from the trioctopus, were fueled in no small part

274
00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:17.759
by gratuitous stories involving trioctopuses harassing lumberjacks and distressing damsels

275
00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:24.679
in Northwestern The pulp magazine What Oh, Pulp pulp magazine.

276
00:16:24.840 --> 00:16:26.080
It all circles back.

277
00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:30.360
This is a thing. Though they were talking about the

278
00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:36.360
treoctopus in the magazines nipping, entangling, suckering the flesh of

279
00:16:36.440 --> 00:16:42.240
the heroes. Oh my god. But the magazine relies on

280
00:16:42.279 --> 00:16:44.919
the paper, so like, is this just a little bit

281
00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:48.679
of like propaganda because they need the mills to be

282
00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:51.840
running and they don't need the ink gunking up their

283
00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:55.679
pulp for their paper. That's true. So I don't know

284
00:16:55.720 --> 00:16:58.320
if this is real or not. It does say it

285
00:16:58.519 --> 00:17:05.559
does say anti octopus, proper paganda campaign. Then this is

286
00:17:05.599 --> 00:17:08.400
where we get to what you saw earlier, the octopus,

287
00:17:08.519 --> 00:17:11.759
devil of the trees, terror of all loggers in the

288
00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:18.920
forest rangers. This was a traveling sideshow exhibit. Apparently not.

289
00:17:19.799 --> 00:17:24.160
That's what it says in the caption Glenn Bone's Heartzell

290
00:17:24.799 --> 00:17:30.200
from nineteen forty two demonize trioctopus to the ignorant masses.

291
00:17:31.079 --> 00:17:32.160
That's not very nice.

292
00:17:32.599 --> 00:17:37.799
Well, I mean, ignorant just means we don't know, lack

293
00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:39.240
of understanding.

294
00:17:39.400 --> 00:17:41.400
Yeah, and then if this is the first info you're

295
00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:44.480
getting about the trioctopus, you might also think they are

296
00:17:44.519 --> 00:17:47.640
devils of the trees. Yeah, so I probably would.

297
00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:49.319
Maybe I think it was.

298
00:17:49.319 --> 00:17:52.160
A big conspiracy because they were just a nuisance, which

299
00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:57.319
is what the website agrees with. Me, Yeah, yeah, I mean.

300
00:17:58.920 --> 00:18:03.000
Wow, okay, so are are you planning on reading any

301
00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:05.279
of the sightings?

302
00:18:06.680 --> 00:18:11.519
We can go there? I have no idea we can.

303
00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:15.000
Of them are like actually like looking at the picture stories,

304
00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:19.680
but yeah, some of them, I'm like, I don't we

305
00:18:19.720 --> 00:18:22.359
can go there. I finally saw it. I was like,

306
00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:25.319
I don't understand why this person is saying it's a sighting,

307
00:18:25.359 --> 00:18:26.440
and I finally saw it.

308
00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:29.160
They're kind of sometimes some of.

309
00:18:29.039 --> 00:18:32.200
Them are like actually like good, and then some of

310
00:18:32.240 --> 00:18:34.279
them are just copying.

311
00:18:34.400 --> 00:18:37.519
They're very they're very camp. I really like. The first

312
00:18:37.519 --> 00:18:41.200
sighting is a moss covered tree that like looks like

313
00:18:41.279 --> 00:18:43.519
tentacles coming out of it, but it's just like part

314
00:18:43.519 --> 00:18:46.079
of the tree, but it's all moss colored. It does

315
00:18:46.160 --> 00:18:49.960
look like an octopus. But it's too big, they say,

316
00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:52.480
they said, oh, they're not too giant tree.

317
00:18:53.319 --> 00:18:53.559
You know.

318
00:18:54.119 --> 00:18:56.599
I like the one peaking. It's like I do too.

319
00:18:56.640 --> 00:19:00.279
That's my fame. Honestly, it took me a minute to

320
00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:00.680
see it.

321
00:19:01.119 --> 00:19:04.680
The next one, yeah, it's like all blurry, looks like

322
00:19:04.759 --> 00:19:07.160
a stuffed animal floating in.

323
00:19:10.680 --> 00:19:14.200
But that one where it's peaking, it says that one's cute.

324
00:19:14.400 --> 00:19:19.720
I believe that's a rhododendron, and that's definitely a roadie.

325
00:19:19.839 --> 00:19:26.200
Yeah, my favorite one with a dog if you zum

326
00:19:26.200 --> 00:19:32.000
in it's very clearly yeah stuff. Oh, I don't know.

327
00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:34.599
It looks like a stuffed animal in a tree. Maybe

328
00:19:34.599 --> 00:19:40.319
they put it there. Yeah, there's a bunch of pictures sightings.

329
00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:44.400
Oh there's one of a hawk taking the tri octopus.

330
00:19:44.839 --> 00:19:47.559
I mean I assume you see the one of it climbing.

331
00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:52.279
Yes, yeah, that's a good one too.

332
00:19:53.039 --> 00:19:56.480
The other one with the dollar bill, I don't kind

333
00:19:56.519 --> 00:19:57.559
of looks like a crab.

334
00:19:57.720 --> 00:20:00.680
It does look like a crab. I don't know what's up

335
00:20:00.680 --> 00:20:02.799
with the dollar bills, because there's another one later with

336
00:20:02.839 --> 00:20:06.480
a dollar bill, Like is that just for like comparison,

337
00:20:06.640 --> 00:20:13.519
Like what do they like for their nests? Maybe? But okay,

338
00:20:13.759 --> 00:20:16.200
how Oh I like the Christmas tree one. There's one

339
00:20:16.200 --> 00:20:22.039
in a Christmas tree. Oh cute Pacific Northwest Christmas tree octopus.

340
00:20:23.839 --> 00:20:30.599
That's good'. There is a ton of sources on this website.

341
00:20:30.839 --> 00:20:33.759
It's really funny because like all the sources are from

342
00:20:34.400 --> 00:20:35.359
the website.

343
00:20:36.200 --> 00:20:41.599
Of course they are I clicked on how can you help?

344
00:20:43.839 --> 00:20:48.160
And this is written very un ironically. Here are a

345
00:20:48.200 --> 00:20:51.519
few things that you can do to help save the

346
00:20:51.559 --> 00:20:54.079
Pacific Northwest treoctopus.

347
00:20:54.200 --> 00:20:56.079
Save them.

348
00:20:56.680 --> 00:20:59.319
Rite your representatives to let them know that you are

349
00:20:59.440 --> 00:21:03.160
concerned and that you feel the tree octopus should be

350
00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:08.039
included on the endangered species list and given special protection.

351
00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:11.000
Everyone right, this is a call to actions right now.

352
00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:15.279
See right now. Take your pen and your ink, Your ink,

353
00:21:16.079 --> 00:21:17.440
your ink.

354
00:21:20.880 --> 00:21:24.759
Write to celebrities asking them to speak out on behalf

355
00:21:24.799 --> 00:21:28.880
of the tree octopus drinks, press, junkets and award shows.

356
00:21:29.039 --> 00:21:33.319
Leonardo DiCaprio write a strongly worded letter to Leonardo DiCaprio is.

357
00:21:33.240 --> 00:21:36.240
All about activism and environmentalism, all.

358
00:21:36.119 --> 00:21:39.200
About the strongly worded letters as well. Yeah, he says

359
00:21:39.240 --> 00:21:41.359
that in Titanic, you guys, okay.

360
00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:47.319
Okay, I simply must insist on reading a couple more

361
00:21:47.559 --> 00:21:48.839
from the how you can help?

362
00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:50.960
Oh okay, go for it.

363
00:21:52.880 --> 00:21:56.759
Help build awareness of the tree octopus by telling your friends,

364
00:21:56.960 --> 00:22:00.839
co workers, or even random people on the streets.

365
00:22:01.039 --> 00:22:03.400
This is what we're doing right now. That's correct, We're

366
00:22:03.400 --> 00:22:05.200
doing our duty for the environment.

367
00:22:06.039 --> 00:22:10.240
Place a tentacle ribbon on your website or social media.

368
00:22:10.319 --> 00:22:12.440
I really like the tentacle ribbon. I was going to

369
00:22:12.480 --> 00:22:14.880
point that out too. I think it's very cute. It's

370
00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:18.880
literally like one of those like ribbons, you know, but

371
00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:20.440
it's in it. It's a tentacle.

372
00:22:21.480 --> 00:22:27.079
Participate in tree octopus awareness marches. You can demonstrate their

373
00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:30.799
plight during the march by having your friends dress up

374
00:22:30.839 --> 00:22:35.160
as tree octopuses while you attack them in a lumberjack costume.

375
00:22:36.240 --> 00:22:40.319
That's fun. Where I want to join the march, you know,

376
00:22:41.559 --> 00:22:43.440
not necessarily unrelated.

377
00:22:43.599 --> 00:22:50.799
I did stumble across a very cute small dog lumberjack costume.

378
00:22:51.200 --> 00:22:56.519
Today you have to get Mully an octopus one because naturally,

379
00:22:56.799 --> 00:22:59.240
obviously Charlotte attacks her. Yeah, it's perfect.

380
00:22:59.559 --> 00:23:04.400
I mean the story rice itself. You have to go

381
00:23:04.440 --> 00:23:10.039
to the march pamphlet your neighborhood. Tentacle ribbons make excellent

382
00:23:10.160 --> 00:23:11.200
door knob hangers.

383
00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:13.160
Oh makes sense.

384
00:23:13.279 --> 00:23:18.160
Okay, Join and donate to an organization committed to conservation,

385
00:23:18.559 --> 00:23:25.920
such as Green Peas yep, Green Peas, m HM. Boycott

386
00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:32.000
communities that use non tree octopus safe wood harvesting practices.

387
00:23:32.279 --> 00:23:35.799
Oh no, you have to move it. You have to move. Honestly,

388
00:23:35.880 --> 00:23:38.960
I'm sure they didn't use that for this apartment. No,

389
00:23:39.039 --> 00:23:40.640
they most certainly didn't.

390
00:23:41.119 --> 00:23:43.400
I mean it was built in the late seventies or

391
00:23:43.720 --> 00:23:49.000
early eighties. I would imagine sign an online petition. Nothing

392
00:23:49.119 --> 00:23:51.960
activates activity like an internet petition.

393
00:23:53.759 --> 00:23:57.039
Signed it already? Would you like to hear about their

394
00:23:57.279 --> 00:23:59.720
past activism? Yeah.

395
00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:06.480
Twenty ten May, the first Baltimore Kinetic Sculpture Race includes

396
00:24:06.559 --> 00:24:08.400
tree Octopus awareness vehicle.

397
00:24:09.000 --> 00:24:11.759
Okay, I want to see that. Yeah, I bet you do.

398
00:24:12.440 --> 00:24:15.960
Oh did you find it? No? But I found a

399
00:24:16.079 --> 00:24:18.599
trick or treat for the treoctopus. Now you can help

400
00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:21.880
the tree octopuses get their favorite Halloween treats, candy corn

401
00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:26.519
and shrimp. They like candy corn and shrimp too. I

402
00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:27.480
hate candy corn.

403
00:24:27.599 --> 00:24:31.279
Oh, I like candy corn. I know it's an unpopular opinion,

404
00:24:31.359 --> 00:24:31.680
but that.

405
00:24:31.680 --> 00:24:36.640
Makes sense that you know candy corn and shrimp. There's

406
00:24:36.680 --> 00:24:39.000
a lot on this website. You guys should just go

407
00:24:39.079 --> 00:24:44.559
through it explore. Oh whoa, I really like the vehicle.

408
00:24:44.599 --> 00:24:46.559
It kind of looks like pool noodles to me. But

409
00:24:46.559 --> 00:24:49.599
I'm sure it's not like it my bit. It might be.

410
00:24:49.920 --> 00:24:52.359
It might be if you want to build an octopus

411
00:24:52.400 --> 00:24:57.319
pool noodles are where it's at pool noodle ooh noodles

412
00:24:57.839 --> 00:25:01.640
and the kids demonstrating did you see like they have

413
00:25:01.680 --> 00:25:04.440
a shop. So there's like bumper stickers you can buy.

414
00:25:05.319 --> 00:25:10.799
I break for the Pacific Northwest trioctopus and io. So

415
00:25:10.839 --> 00:25:14.680
it's on the Oh I found it. I found it. Okay. Oh,

416
00:25:14.720 --> 00:25:16.440
and there's some other there's a bunch of other stuff

417
00:25:16.440 --> 00:25:22.279
you could buy. They have mugs, shirts. Okay. So it

418
00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:27.599
might be kind of obvious, but the Pacific Northwest trioctopus

419
00:25:27.640 --> 00:25:34.039
is not real big it's so different. It was created

420
00:25:34.240 --> 00:25:37.640
as a study in nineteen ninety eight. It was a

421
00:25:37.680 --> 00:25:40.640
biology college course and it was about like, do not

422
00:25:40.759 --> 00:25:46.839
believe everything you read about science online, but it looks

423
00:25:46.880 --> 00:25:50.440
pretty real to me. See. And they even they kind

424
00:25:50.480 --> 00:25:53.279
of faked out some of these students because a lot

425
00:25:53.319 --> 00:25:56.119
of them still thought that, like, this was real because

426
00:25:56.160 --> 00:26:00.559
they did such a convincing job. All my dish.

427
00:26:00.920 --> 00:26:03.880
I kind of love that it says.

428
00:26:04.279 --> 00:26:07.240
Surprisingly, a high number of students did not question the

429
00:26:07.279 --> 00:26:15.440
species in the initial activity and assumed it was real. Wow. However,

430
00:26:15.599 --> 00:26:19.319
most as part of the second assessment did report it

431
00:26:19.359 --> 00:26:24.400
was false. Wow. Some students failed to recognize the species

432
00:26:24.440 --> 00:26:27.079
as a fake, in thought the species was real even

433
00:26:27.119 --> 00:26:30.119
after watching a parody or satirical video on YouTube.

434
00:26:30.480 --> 00:26:34.640
Oh my god, I don't know this, this is real,

435
00:26:34.799 --> 00:26:38.160
Like we literally designed this to be satirical.

436
00:26:38.680 --> 00:26:43.160
So but we're convinced, Wow, this is real. You know

437
00:26:43.200 --> 00:26:46.039
it's not real, but it's kind of all in fun,

438
00:26:46.200 --> 00:26:49.599
like conservation, protect the forest. I don't know why we

439
00:26:49.680 --> 00:26:54.160
need like a fake critter to attach to, like it

440
00:26:54.599 --> 00:26:58.640
to feel whios like viral. Yeah that is true, something

441
00:26:58.680 --> 00:27:01.039
weird out there that you're oh, no, well we can't

442
00:27:01.079 --> 00:27:03.839
get No, that's just too weird and we need that.

443
00:27:05.119 --> 00:27:09.160
But you know, also protect the real wildlife and habitats

444
00:27:09.240 --> 00:27:12.799
of forest critters. So is fun. I've been wanting to

445
00:27:12.839 --> 00:27:14.640
talk about the woode for a long time.

446
00:27:15.559 --> 00:27:19.759
I love this home much.

447
00:27:21.319 --> 00:27:23.200
And I did say we were going to talk about

448
00:27:23.240 --> 00:27:26.519
a couple because there is another octopus. So this one

449
00:27:26.599 --> 00:27:28.640
is the Tacoma Narrows octopus.

450
00:27:29.319 --> 00:27:33.759
This is so weird. Okay, I think did we drive

451
00:27:33.880 --> 00:27:37.920
over this bridge? Oh, I know you mentioned Tacoma. I

452
00:27:37.960 --> 00:27:39.480
was like, oh, that's kind of funny because I have

453
00:27:39.519 --> 00:27:44.039
something about Tacoma in here. Bro. I think I feel

454
00:27:44.039 --> 00:27:47.400
like there's no way we didn't. It looks different now,

455
00:27:47.480 --> 00:27:48.160
I think.

456
00:27:48.279 --> 00:27:52.759
But so the bridge did collapse in nineteen forty due

457
00:27:52.839 --> 00:27:57.400
to like really strong gusts of wind. But people did

458
00:27:57.480 --> 00:28:01.920
also say that there was the uh, meaty arms of

459
00:28:01.920 --> 00:28:06.079
a six hundred pound man eating octopus that also brought

460
00:28:06.119 --> 00:28:09.200
the bridge down, So I assume they rebuilt the bridge,

461
00:28:09.200 --> 00:28:11.799
so it's possible you. I didn't really look into that

462
00:28:11.839 --> 00:28:12.319
part of it.

463
00:28:13.839 --> 00:28:17.319
Well, I was just looking at the bridge and trying

464
00:28:17.359 --> 00:28:21.480
to remember, because we definitely crossed over a really big

465
00:28:21.519 --> 00:28:28.519
bridge on our way. Yeah, I'm excited to hear about.

466
00:28:28.880 --> 00:28:33.079
This is a gigantic I mean by comparison, you're talking

467
00:28:33.079 --> 00:28:38.920
about a little octopus that's like twelve inches, yeah, versus

468
00:28:38.960 --> 00:28:41.039
like what six hundred pound pound?

469
00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:45.440
Uh huh? Also man eating. They both liked e man.

470
00:28:45.480 --> 00:28:48.799
We don't know, Well twelve inches, how much of a

471
00:28:48.839 --> 00:28:49.799
man are you eating?

472
00:28:56.480 --> 00:29:01.200
Just the first six? Maybe seven?

473
00:29:01.559 --> 00:29:01.720
Yeah?

474
00:29:01.759 --> 00:29:06.839
Okay. Uh so this is known as the king octopus.

475
00:29:07.359 --> 00:29:11.720
They compared it to the kraken. Just this huge octopus

476
00:29:11.960 --> 00:29:18.480
in mean in the river or is it? Yeah? It

477
00:29:18.680 --> 00:29:23.319
obviously isn't real, but there are such things as is

478
00:29:23.359 --> 00:29:27.319
it not? I mean, this specific octopus is not real,

479
00:29:27.400 --> 00:29:32.640
but there are the giant Pacific octopus. Yeah, yeah, so

480
00:29:32.680 --> 00:29:33.720
it's not quite.

481
00:29:35.519 --> 00:29:35.599
No.

482
00:29:35.720 --> 00:29:37.759
These one says they can grow up to six hundred

483
00:29:37.759 --> 00:29:41.759
pounds and thirty feet just saying. But they're saying, like

484
00:29:43.039 --> 00:29:45.839
the King octopus that they said brought down the bridge

485
00:29:45.880 --> 00:29:47.319
and eats man.

486
00:29:47.160 --> 00:29:50.759
Is not I mean, six hundred pounds probably wouldn't bring

487
00:29:51.079 --> 00:29:53.799
down a bridge.

488
00:29:53.960 --> 00:29:55.720
It could eat a man, So don't fall in.

489
00:29:55.960 --> 00:29:59.359
But yeah, yeah, just I mean, you know, be careful.

490
00:30:01.200 --> 00:30:06.440
I just I had to know for science. The Tacoma

491
00:30:06.559 --> 00:30:12.440
Narrows Bridge spans a tidal straight connecting different basins of

492
00:30:12.480 --> 00:30:17.240
the Puget Sound. It doesn't actually feed directly into the

493
00:30:17.279 --> 00:30:22.039
Puget or into the Pacific Ocean. Okay, So but I

494
00:30:22.079 --> 00:30:26.880
mean it's it looks like it's not in it's not

495
00:30:27.000 --> 00:30:29.319
an insignificant body of water.

496
00:30:29.559 --> 00:30:33.160
Yeah, so big enough for maybe a six hundred pound octopus.

497
00:30:33.400 --> 00:30:34.559
I'm just sying.

498
00:30:36.640 --> 00:30:38.799
They did say, like back in that day, they didn't

499
00:30:38.799 --> 00:30:43.119
really know a lot about octopus. So a lot of

500
00:30:43.160 --> 00:30:45.680
it was just seeing like this giant divers will like

501
00:30:45.799 --> 00:30:48.480
see this giant creature in the water, like, oh God,

502
00:30:48.559 --> 00:30:49.680
it's gonna eat me, you.

503
00:30:49.599 --> 00:30:52.319
Know, right, Yeah, they're assuming.

504
00:30:52.680 --> 00:30:55.880
Yeah, so it says here quote. Artists and writers long

505
00:30:55.920 --> 00:31:01.440
depicted octopuses as gigantic, bloodthirsty creatures, powerful to crush ships

506
00:31:01.759 --> 00:31:05.759
dubbed devilfish, so these were also known as devilfish. Yike.

507
00:31:06.319 --> 00:31:11.039
They were hideous of appearance, ferocious and hungry. But then

508
00:31:11.160 --> 00:31:13.839
like more research came out, people started to learn about

509
00:31:13.880 --> 00:31:16.200
them and learn that they actually weren't.

510
00:31:17.119 --> 00:31:19.839
Yeah, I was gonna say, I feel like that just

511
00:31:19.920 --> 00:31:21.759
doesn't really ring true for me.

512
00:31:21.960 --> 00:31:26.160
Yeah, I don't know. They used to do octopus wrestling,

513
00:31:27.599 --> 00:31:29.640
so they would like go down and like wrestle the

514
00:31:29.759 --> 00:31:33.720
octopus out of his cage or it's not cage, but

515
00:31:33.799 --> 00:31:37.480
it's a cave. That's what I was saying. Hey, it's okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.

516
00:31:37.519 --> 00:31:40.200
But then once they knew more about octopus, they kind

517
00:31:40.200 --> 00:31:44.519
of like put that stuff, they stopped it. I think

518
00:31:44.559 --> 00:31:49.279
someone killed one too, No, because it wasn't illegal. They weren't.

519
00:31:49.400 --> 00:31:52.799
They they're not on the endangered list even now.

520
00:31:53.319 --> 00:31:57.839
It's like dog or chicken fighting, which actually I think

521
00:31:57.880 --> 00:32:01.039
in a lot of places both of those things are

522
00:32:01.319 --> 00:32:07.440
just ant grown unnecessarily, like when the packs are so

523
00:32:07.559 --> 00:32:11.119
stupid allegedly that you can't leave them out in the rain,

524
00:32:11.359 --> 00:32:15.039
but like don't kill them just.

525
00:32:15.319 --> 00:32:16.279
For no reason.

526
00:32:16.400 --> 00:32:21.799
Yeah, that's that's what I have heard, is that like

527
00:32:21.799 --> 00:32:24.880
like they'll they will just look up at the sky

528
00:32:25.039 --> 00:32:26.680
with their mouths agape.

529
00:32:26.880 --> 00:32:28.680
I don't know if that's true. I don't know, it's

530
00:32:28.720 --> 00:32:33.240
probably not. Have you seen Molana, the dive site nearest

531
00:32:33.319 --> 00:32:37.359
the Tacoma Narrows Bridge collapse and the former home of

532
00:32:37.400 --> 00:32:44.160
the Octopus Wrestling World Championships. They it became a marine

533
00:32:44.160 --> 00:32:48.319
protected area for the giant Pacific octopus and so it's

534
00:32:48.440 --> 00:32:53.279
not endangered. So that's like a rare accomplishment for species

535
00:32:53.319 --> 00:32:57.359
that's not endangered to have a protected area apparently. Yeah,

536
00:32:57.400 --> 00:32:58.359
so that's pretty mean.

537
00:32:58.759 --> 00:32:59.480
That makes sense.

538
00:33:00.200 --> 00:33:04.599
And the giant Pacific octopus have become the unofficial mascot

539
00:33:04.680 --> 00:33:05.440
of Tacoma.

540
00:33:06.039 --> 00:33:06.599
I like it.

541
00:33:06.720 --> 00:33:10.279
Yeah, so it's like another example of like a kind

542
00:33:10.319 --> 00:33:15.000
of a fake cryptid, but like actually helps protect and

543
00:33:15.079 --> 00:33:17.680
preserve like real animals and real habitats.

544
00:33:17.839 --> 00:33:20.519
Honestly, it's a strong strategy.

545
00:33:20.799 --> 00:33:24.039
Yeah. Yeah, we're weird over here at the PNW. I

546
00:33:24.039 --> 00:33:26.359
don't know if they do this shit like anywhere else

547
00:33:26.359 --> 00:33:29.160
in the world, but here we.

548
00:33:29.160 --> 00:33:33.079
I mean, listen, it's working here. So I feel like,

549
00:33:33.240 --> 00:33:38.119
if if you're not doing it elsewhere, maybe adopt the practice.

550
00:33:38.200 --> 00:33:41.759
Yeah, you know, and that's all I have. I just

551
00:33:41.799 --> 00:33:43.920
want to talk about a couple octopus today. I do

552
00:33:44.000 --> 00:33:47.400
have a Patreon bonus too. We don't record it now,

553
00:33:47.759 --> 00:33:51.279
but I do have a Patreon bonus about kind of

554
00:33:51.319 --> 00:33:55.480
a weird little cryptid as well. So we have that

555
00:33:55.640 --> 00:33:58.160
to look forward to. And if you're interested in joining

556
00:33:58.200 --> 00:34:01.960
our Patreon, you can do that. There's a link in

557
00:34:02.079 --> 00:34:05.359
all of the uh, all of the things. We still

558
00:34:05.400 --> 00:34:08.679
send you a personalized welcome card and a little mini

559
00:34:08.719 --> 00:34:11.760
tarot reading when you join, so you know what people like,

560
00:34:11.920 --> 00:34:14.320
add free episodes and that's what you get on Patreon.

561
00:34:14.480 --> 00:34:18.920
It's true, It's true. That's that's a thing. Well, do

562
00:34:18.920 --> 00:34:21.480
you think we should do some taro for this? Yeah?

563
00:34:21.519 --> 00:34:24.239
But what deck are we get to do? The Pacific Northwest?

564
00:34:24.280 --> 00:34:27.519
There is I believe an octopus in that one. I mean,

565
00:34:27.760 --> 00:34:29.800
if we could do the doc deck.

566
00:34:29.800 --> 00:34:31.719
We could do we have so many decks. I think

567
00:34:31.760 --> 00:34:33.239
we should do the PNW deck.

568
00:34:35.519 --> 00:34:36.079
Wow.

569
00:34:39.760 --> 00:34:46.280
Okay, we've shuffled the cards a lot. We're drawing a

570
00:34:46.320 --> 00:34:49.400
card laid out in front of me. I'm feeling it out.

571
00:34:49.400 --> 00:34:53.880
We're drawing a card for some tree octopus. I feel

572
00:34:53.880 --> 00:34:57.280
like in that region when where I'm at right now? Yeah,

573
00:34:57.400 --> 00:34:58.159
kind of in there.

574
00:34:58.360 --> 00:35:02.880
I don't know if you're filling otherwise, go with your influence.

575
00:35:03.079 --> 00:35:07.000
I'm feeling this one right here. Okay, that's kind of

576
00:35:07.000 --> 00:35:09.599
where I felt drawn is of cuffs we always draw?

577
00:35:10.159 --> 00:35:10.760
Shut up.

578
00:35:11.800 --> 00:35:15.000
That's my Grandma's said. That is so funny. Why do

579
00:35:15.119 --> 00:35:18.719
we always draw the same fucking cards? In our little

580
00:35:18.719 --> 00:35:24.480
book it says emotional energy, spirituality, intuition, love, creativity, and

581
00:35:24.719 --> 00:35:28.360
inner voice compassion, which I feel like that does like

582
00:35:28.440 --> 00:35:32.159
it with it because it's all about the creativity. It

583
00:35:32.199 --> 00:35:35.000
was the whole website they built about this fake creature,

584
00:35:35.000 --> 00:35:38.440
which is like a whole ass website fake, is it?

585
00:35:39.239 --> 00:35:42.400
I honestly, I still have questions. They do say, they

586
00:35:42.480 --> 00:35:46.039
do say it's fake. They do have the separate little

587
00:35:47.639 --> 00:35:52.000
thing about the I feel like that's their responsible because

588
00:35:52.719 --> 00:35:56.920
I know that. Okay, if your children are listening, maybe

589
00:35:57.039 --> 00:36:00.719
just ear muff them briefly, okay, one, two, three, and

590
00:36:01.000 --> 00:36:06.559
go Okay. I understand that Santa isn't real, but I

591
00:36:06.639 --> 00:36:12.199
want to believe the Treoctatus is like Santa. So yeah,

592
00:36:12.239 --> 00:36:13.320
it's basically real.

593
00:36:13.519 --> 00:36:16.920
I want to believe. But a lot of creativity did

594
00:36:16.960 --> 00:36:21.559
go into it, oh, clearly in compassion for you know

595
00:36:21.719 --> 00:36:25.800
the environment. Yes, I don't know if we've read this

596
00:36:25.840 --> 00:36:28.440
in a while, because we draw this card so often.

597
00:36:29.639 --> 00:36:33.960
It is about water, because it's cups, So that's pretty cool. Yeah,

598
00:36:34.000 --> 00:36:39.000
because water. I'll read this really quick. Okay, Fill a cup,

599
00:36:39.199 --> 00:36:42.559
why stop there? Fill another, Fill a hundred, Fill a

600
00:36:42.679 --> 00:36:46.719
rain cloud of cup shaped pedals with blue and purple pigment.

601
00:36:47.079 --> 00:36:50.400
Fill a garden with exuberant bursts of color and shape.

602
00:36:51.039 --> 00:36:54.000
Raise one of its mini cups to your lips, hold

603
00:36:54.039 --> 00:36:57.199
it to your ear, and listen to its voice, both

604
00:36:57.320 --> 00:37:01.480
energetic and soothing. It carries the sound of water rushing

605
00:37:01.599 --> 00:37:05.719
at the surface and swirling deep below. Oh, it's like

606
00:37:05.719 --> 00:37:09.559
a sea, shall I know. Pay attention to the voice

607
00:37:09.599 --> 00:37:13.280
as it comes from you, reflected by the cup back

608
00:37:13.320 --> 00:37:17.400
to your ear, originating from your heart. Which is that

609
00:37:17.639 --> 00:37:19.719
kind of cute? That kind of answers the question, like,

610
00:37:19.800 --> 00:37:22.119
if you want to believe in it, you can.

611
00:37:22.480 --> 00:37:27.920
Just saying just saying yeah. So key words from our

612
00:37:28.000 --> 00:37:33.000
big book, and we did draw this in the upright, correct, Yes, Okay,

613
00:37:34.280 --> 00:37:41.400
new love, beginning a creative activity which kind of just

614
00:37:41.920 --> 00:37:44.679
behind the scenes, we're kind of in a way.

615
00:37:45.519 --> 00:37:46.440
Oh, that's true.

616
00:37:46.679 --> 00:37:50.000
Beginning a new creative activity.

617
00:37:49.639 --> 00:37:55.079
But also like new love of this trioctopus.

618
00:37:54.239 --> 00:38:04.480
Or a trio joy. This represents a gift of love,

619
00:38:05.039 --> 00:38:10.320
either of a personal or divine nature. This ace reminds

620
00:38:10.480 --> 00:38:13.840
us of the Holy Grail, the most famous chalice of

621
00:38:13.880 --> 00:38:14.880
all which is.

622
00:38:14.800 --> 00:38:17.079
That real or is it not? We don't know, you know,

623
00:38:18.000 --> 00:38:23.519
you know, a legendly a legendly yeah, which.

624
00:38:23.320 --> 00:38:29.719
Some people believe now lies in the chellice well in Glastonbury, England.

625
00:38:30.599 --> 00:38:34.360
The upright ace denotes a burst of joy, the kind

626
00:38:34.400 --> 00:38:38.840
that comes with falling in love, oh, falling in love

627
00:38:39.119 --> 00:38:44.840
with the trick to us. Often its appearance heralds a

628
00:38:44.920 --> 00:38:49.000
new romance, but it can also represent the start of

629
00:38:49.039 --> 00:38:50.960
a creative project about.

630
00:38:50.719 --> 00:38:55.599
Which you feel happy. Okay, ok, that makes sense personally

631
00:38:55.679 --> 00:38:59.559
and not Yeah, and I don't know whatever, how would

632
00:38:59.599 --> 00:38:59.920
kill for you?

633
00:39:00.119 --> 00:39:06.000
Guys? Yeah, When this beautiful card shows up, it indicates

634
00:39:06.559 --> 00:39:12.440
you're on an emotional high and enjoying life. I feel

635
00:39:12.559 --> 00:39:17.280
like after my second glass of wine. That pretty accurately

636
00:39:17.400 --> 00:39:18.039
describes me.

637
00:39:18.119 --> 00:39:19.840
Yeah, it's like I feel pretty good right now, but

638
00:39:20.280 --> 00:39:24.480
in like an hour, I probably won't. I'll be back

639
00:39:24.519 --> 00:39:25.039
to normal.

640
00:39:25.519 --> 00:39:32.440
Yeah. Sometimes it indicates the birth of a child or idea.

641
00:39:32.800 --> 00:39:34.719
Oh okay, okay.

642
00:39:34.480 --> 00:39:36.840
I feel like it's picking up a vibe. I don't

643
00:39:36.880 --> 00:39:38.639
know how much it has to do with the case.

644
00:39:38.800 --> 00:39:41.280
Yes, we'll see both. Well, I really think both.

645
00:39:41.880 --> 00:39:45.239
In a reading about money, the ace suggests the beginning

646
00:39:45.280 --> 00:39:48.599
of a creative endeavor that promises to be profitable.

647
00:39:49.440 --> 00:39:50.519
I'm downe for that.

648
00:39:50.559 --> 00:39:52.719
I know. I hope it has nothing to do with

649
00:39:52.760 --> 00:39:53.239
the case.

650
00:39:54.559 --> 00:39:57.760
But they do have the shop, and so they do

651
00:39:58.079 --> 00:40:02.519
they could be profitable off of the very also as well,

652
00:40:02.639 --> 00:40:05.159
technical ribbons.

653
00:40:06.039 --> 00:40:10.440
Nurture it carefully and the seeds will bear fruit. If

654
00:40:10.480 --> 00:40:13.239
the reading is about your work, you may be starting

655
00:40:13.280 --> 00:40:14.960
a new job and feel.

656
00:40:14.760 --> 00:40:18.920
Enthusiastic about it. Okay, my me, lozup.

657
00:40:20.519 --> 00:40:24.960
Perhaps this position will allow you to express your creativity

658
00:40:25.199 --> 00:40:29.519
or fulfill a dream, even though it might take some time. Well,

659
00:40:29.599 --> 00:40:32.039
I mean, come on, we've been here this long. Yeah.

660
00:40:32.480 --> 00:40:34.920
And also, saving the environment takes a lot of time,

661
00:40:35.199 --> 00:40:37.599
sure does, sure does.

662
00:40:37.880 --> 00:40:41.960
Particularly under the you know, not to get political again,

663
00:40:42.000 --> 00:40:45.159
but you know under the current administration.

664
00:40:44.679 --> 00:40:46.320
Right, that's true.

665
00:40:47.079 --> 00:40:52.440
It takes a long time to even wipe out explosive diarrhea.

666
00:40:52.519 --> 00:41:02.159
So yep, just just gonna leave that there, wipe it out.

667
00:41:02.440 --> 00:41:06.920
Wipe it out.

668
00:41:04.960 --> 00:41:09.679
Flushable wipe it out? What I did there? Oh boy?

669
00:41:10.039 --> 00:41:12.440
Why do we keep bringing up flushable wipes on the show.

670
00:41:12.880 --> 00:41:14.960
It's like they're a really important part of our life.

671
00:41:16.400 --> 00:41:17.719
We did last time too.

672
00:41:19.480 --> 00:41:23.800
I love the wipes, I know, I love them so much.

673
00:41:24.119 --> 00:41:26.639
Don't come at me about how they clung up the system.

674
00:41:26.760 --> 00:41:28.000
I don't fucking care that.

675
00:41:28.079 --> 00:41:31.360
If they're the actual flushable wipes, I think they're okay

676
00:41:31.519 --> 00:41:33.760
unless you're of a septic tank, and then I think

677
00:41:33.800 --> 00:41:35.079
you can't use the wipees.

678
00:41:35.400 --> 00:41:37.280
I don't say they're not, but I don't trust it.

679
00:41:37.360 --> 00:41:41.920
I think it's a conspiracy to keep our butts dirty.

680
00:41:42.119 --> 00:41:45.159
That is the red pill side of the internet.

681
00:41:45.480 --> 00:41:48.519
Keep your butt dirty. I think you should wipe your

682
00:41:48.519 --> 00:41:49.400
butt at all.

683
00:41:49.760 --> 00:41:51.280
What do you think it makes you gay?

684
00:41:52.280 --> 00:41:53.119
I'm not kidding.

685
00:41:54.079 --> 00:41:58.559
I'm not kidding. There is a segment of the internet.

686
00:42:00.679 --> 00:42:03.119
Yes you're gay.

687
00:42:03.960 --> 00:42:06.000
Yeah, there was a woman.

688
00:42:06.159 --> 00:42:07.280
Well I'm so gay.

689
00:42:07.559 --> 00:42:11.840
Her story has been shared far and why by every

690
00:42:12.320 --> 00:42:16.480
Reddit podcast that I listened to, and I'm sure many more.

691
00:42:18.199 --> 00:42:19.960
She broke up with her boyfriend.

692
00:42:20.000 --> 00:42:22.719
They had only lived together like a very short time,

693
00:42:22.719 --> 00:42:26.079
but they had been together for like a couple of

694
00:42:26.159 --> 00:42:30.599
years and as soon as they moved in together, he

695
00:42:30.679 --> 00:42:33.400
went to the red pill side of the internet and

696
00:42:33.440 --> 00:42:38.880
they told him that wiping his butthole, wiping his ass

697
00:42:39.480 --> 00:42:44.239
was gay. No, And I'm like, how are you so

698
00:42:44.559 --> 00:42:48.599
afraid of being gay that you will let your entire

699
00:42:48.840 --> 00:42:51.159
life smell like shit?

700
00:42:51.599 --> 00:42:55.480
Like, honestly keep your butthole dirty because that will keep

701
00:42:55.519 --> 00:42:56.079
me away from you.

702
00:42:56.440 --> 00:42:56.760
Yeah.

703
00:42:57.079 --> 00:42:58.519
Yeah.

704
00:42:58.920 --> 00:43:01.719
She literally broke up with a man and he was like,

705
00:43:01.760 --> 00:43:04.400
I can't believe you're breaking up with me about like

706
00:43:05.039 --> 00:43:07.519
I forget how he put it, like about like a

707
00:43:07.559 --> 00:43:10.519
personal choice or something like that. And she's like, I'm

708
00:43:10.559 --> 00:43:13.559
just literally asking you to wipe your ass so that

709
00:43:13.880 --> 00:43:22.599
like our couch, our bed, you're fucking underwear. Oh god, can.

710
00:43:22.400 --> 00:43:26.440
You e imagine? What? Right?

711
00:43:26.800 --> 00:43:27.000
What?

712
00:43:27.480 --> 00:43:32.679
That's insane? I know I mean by that measure, I

713
00:43:32.800 --> 00:43:33.360
just want to.

714
00:43:33.320 --> 00:43:36.400
Live in Europe where I can just like sit and

715
00:43:36.480 --> 00:43:41.159
bedey my bunghole for like a straight hour. And like

716
00:43:41.400 --> 00:43:42.840
everybody's like, yep.

717
00:43:43.840 --> 00:43:44.239
Get it.

718
00:43:45.280 --> 00:43:48.840
I have a detachable shower head. That's what I do

719
00:43:48.960 --> 00:43:54.480
with it now. I make sure she is pristine all of.

720
00:43:57.320 --> 00:43:58.000
The nether bit.

721
00:43:58.079 --> 00:44:04.440
So I'm like, they are aculate it, maculate every time

722
00:44:04.480 --> 00:44:06.920
I step out of the shower, if I'm in there

723
00:44:06.960 --> 00:44:10.440
for fifteen minutes, twelve minutes of that time I have

724
00:44:10.559 --> 00:44:18.400
been spraying my hoo ha and uh, you know her

725
00:44:18.440 --> 00:44:21.039
best friend on the backside.

726
00:44:20.599 --> 00:44:26.119
My hoo ha. Oh good lord, that man.

727
00:44:26.239 --> 00:44:30.840
Needs a fire hose. He needs an actual fire hose.

728
00:44:30.960 --> 00:44:33.239
Yeah, because like at that point it gets all crusty.

729
00:44:33.679 --> 00:44:39.880
You're not wiping even crust but stink. And men have

730
00:44:40.199 --> 00:44:44.760
such hairy buttholes, your crusty, hairy butthole. That must hurt.

731
00:44:45.679 --> 00:44:46.440
I hope it does.

732
00:44:46.559 --> 00:44:50.519
Like it has to be uncomfortable discuss it's really foul.

733
00:44:50.760 --> 00:44:53.679
Hot take, it's not even a hot take.

734
00:44:53.880 --> 00:44:58.280
It is just disgusting. That has been bothering me for

735
00:44:58.320 --> 00:44:59.199
a long time.

736
00:44:59.360 --> 00:45:00.000
It is a story.

737
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:05.480
Sorry that though we read Reddit stories far and few

738
00:45:05.480 --> 00:45:07.400
and in between. I was like, I feel like this

739
00:45:07.599 --> 00:45:08.360
demands our.

740
00:45:10.400 --> 00:45:12.519
Well, I'm going to leave it in. And so you

741
00:45:12.599 --> 00:45:15.360
got your commentary on the dirty buttles. That's your birthday,

742
00:45:15.519 --> 00:45:21.360
Happy birthday to you, curiously. Yeah, foul, so foul. If

743
00:45:21.400 --> 00:45:26.000
anyone listening doesn't like their butthole, please immediately stop listening

744
00:45:26.199 --> 00:45:30.320
of unsubscribe, don't give us any of your money because

745
00:45:30.320 --> 00:45:31.400
we don't want your poop much.

746
00:45:31.440 --> 00:45:36.800
Honest, listen, I will just stay at my day jobs.

747
00:45:37.320 --> 00:45:39.119
We'll be fine without you.

748
00:45:40.000 --> 00:45:45.039
I think I would feel better about it. Actually, yeah, okay,

749
00:45:45.119 --> 00:45:48.599
we're just down to the last bullet. Okay, that an

750
00:45:48.639 --> 00:45:51.800
extra excerpt, but okay.

751
00:45:51.840 --> 00:45:54.159
We finally read a million times and we probably have.

752
00:45:54.320 --> 00:45:58.840
But in the reading about love, the ace symbolizes the

753
00:45:58.840 --> 00:46:03.360
first stages of a romantic relationship, a time when you

754
00:46:03.400 --> 00:46:09.320
should indeed be wiping your ass very thoroughly. Yes, if

755
00:46:09.400 --> 00:46:17.800
not always, certainly in those early stages, nurture it so

756
00:46:18.000 --> 00:46:28.760
your lovel pluff. Sometimes it represents awakening to divine love,

757
00:46:29.559 --> 00:46:35.599
but only if you thoroughly clean your ash. A wicked

758
00:46:35.719 --> 00:46:43.559
blessing you never Thirst remembers sharing a beverage and a

759
00:46:43.679 --> 00:46:49.519
chalice is a popular practice in Wigan rituals. Sometimes the

760
00:46:49.639 --> 00:46:54.039
chalice is offered with the blessing may you never thirst.

761
00:46:54.159 --> 00:46:56.679
Oh, mayor buttle never.

762
00:46:56.880 --> 00:47:02.360
Crist literally just thinking mayor buttle ever First, because the

763
00:47:02.440 --> 00:47:05.559
chalice is passed from one person to another, it may

764
00:47:05.639 --> 00:47:08.880
feature a long stem that makes it easier to handle.

765
00:47:09.239 --> 00:47:10.079
I love that for.

766
00:47:10.159 --> 00:47:13.480
Us also, okay, relating it back to the actual story,

767
00:47:13.599 --> 00:47:16.320
the long stem of the chalice could be the long

768
00:47:16.440 --> 00:47:20.920
tentacle of the tree to us.

769
00:47:21.400 --> 00:47:26.320
Also, I just think for an aquatic creature. May you

770
00:47:26.360 --> 00:47:27.039
never third?

771
00:47:27.239 --> 00:47:35.840
Yeah yeah, because yeah, Ace of cups. Well we did

772
00:47:35.840 --> 00:47:42.599

is one thing, but I'm white. It's just not right.

778
00:48:07.320 --> 00:48:08.119
Dingleberries.

779
00:48:12.239 --> 00:48:16.679
We have to go. We simply must
